I know, you're a bit conservative. This is why "anually" is still  there
for backward compatibility, although is wrong. But IMHO the "semesterly"
alias is a reasonable word that sound like the other cases with -ly at
the end. And a semester also exists outside of the University. It's your
decision. We can also survive without this (useful) alias :)
